Carmen: WE'LL STAY ON TOP OF IT. OUR MARA MACDONALD REPORTING LIVE FOR US. Guy: TODAY BROUGHT WHAT INVESTIGATORS HOPE IS THE NEXT KEY STEP IN FINDING OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO TWO DETROIT CHILDREN WHO DISAPPEARED WHEN THEIR MOTHER WAS MURDERED. Carmen: THE BODY OF ALICIA FOX WAS FOUND IN AN ABANDONED HOME. HER CHILDREN AGES 6 AND 8 MONTHS HAVE NOT BEEN SEEN SINCE. Guy: ERIN JUSTICE IS CHARGED WITH HER MURDER AND TODAY HE FINALLY APPEARED HERE IN COURT IN DETROIT TO FACE THE CHARGES. OUR SHAWN LEY WAS THERE AND IT TOOK A WHOLE LOT OF WORK TO GET HIM BACK HERE TO MICHIGAN. Shawn: YOU'RE SPOT ON. HE WAS FIGHTING COMING BACK HERE TO FIGHT FELONY FIREARM CHARGES, TWO OF THEM HABITUAL OFFENDER CHARGES. HE DIDN'T WANT TO COME BACK AND FACE A JUDGE OR FACE THE FAMILY. BUT HE DID, AND AT THE SAME TIME WE'RE ALSO LEARNING THAT HE'S ABSOLUTELY NOT COOPERATING WITH INVESTIGATORS. IT'S THE FIRST TIME FAMILY MEMBERS OF ALICIA FOX HAVE SEEN HER ACCUSED KILLER, FOX'S HUSBAND ERIN JUSTICE SINCE HE WAS MURDERED AND SINCE FOX'S CHILDREN HAVE GONE MISSING SINCE BACK IN JUNE. ALICIA FOX'S MOTHER LEAVING COURT WOULD ONLY SAY THIS TO ME. MA'AM, DO YOU HAVE ANY REACTION TO SEEING HIM BACK HERE? JUST ANGER, THAT'S ALL. Shawn: SOURCES TELL ME YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE FACE OF WHAT THEY'RE CALLING PURE EVIL. JUSTICE IS PLAYING GAMES WITH INVESTIGATORS, TELLING THEM MULTIPLE STORIES, IN NO WAY HELPING WITH NOT ONLY WHAT LED TO FOX BEING SHOT TO DEATH BUT WHAT'S BECOME OF FOX'S DAUGHTER, 6-YEAR-OLD KAYLAH HUNTER AND THE COUPLE'S 8-MONTH-OLD SON KRISTIAN JUSTICE. HER UNCLE FOUND HER BODY DUMPED IN AN ABANDONED BUILDING BACK IN JUNE. THEY'RE STILL SEARCHING FOR THE KIDS AND HAVE A MESSAGE FOR JUSTICE. I WOULD SAY TO HIM, YOU KNOW, PRAY FOR FORGIVENESS WITHIN YOURSELF AND REMEMBER THAT NOT ONLY WAS KRISTIAN YOUR CHILD BUT KAYLAH WAS YOUR CHILD, AS WELL. YOU'RE NOT GONNA WIN. YOU'RE DONE, YOU'RE GUILTY. ALL EVIDENCE POINTS TOWARDS YOU. YOU MAY AS WELL GO AHEAD AND LET US GET CLOSURE AND TELL US WHERE THE BABIES ARE. Shawn: CHRISTINE IS THE CENTER OF ALICIA FOX AND HOPES FOR A MIRACLE THAT THE CHILDREN ARE FOUND SAFE BUT THEY BELIEVE THE PERSON WHO HOLDS ALL THE ANSWERS IS ERIN JUSTICE. HE'S NOTHING TO ME, NOTHING AT ALL. I DON'T EVEN LOOK AT HIM AS A HUMAN ANYMORE. LIKE I SAID BEFORE, HE'S A MONSTER! Shawn: STRONG WORDS THERE. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE MAY LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS CASE SEPTEMBER 4th WHEN JUSTICE GOES BACK TO COURT FOR A PRELIMINARY HEARING. HE HAS COURT DATES COMING UP, AS WELL. LET'S FOCUS ON THE KIDS. THE FAMILY SAID THEY'LL GO OUT IN SOUTHWEST DETROIT, PRIMARILY THE DELRAY NEIGHBORHOOD THIS

DETROIT -

A Detroit man has been returned to Michigan to face first-degree murder and weapons charges in the slaying of his 27-year-old estranged wife.

Erin Justice, 28, was arraigned Wednesday on premeditated murder and two felony weapons charges. He had been fighting extradition following his arrest in June in the Atlanta area. Wayne County court records don't show Justice having an attorney.

Alicia Fox's decomposed body was found June 9 in a vacant house on Detroit's west side. She had been shot to death.
